Puer Natus Est Christmas CD by STAS Schola and Polyphonic Choir This Christmas let the schola and polyphonic choir of St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary lift your heart and mind to the contemplation of the Christ child. This new recording offers a real taste of the liturgical spirit of Christmas as understood and communicated by some of the finest composers of the Church's musical tradition. It includes the complete music of a Christmas Mass, combining the propers of the Christmas Day Mass in Gregorian chant with William Byrd's Mass for three voices. The album also features magnificent Renaissance motets by Palestrina (the Church's model for sacred polyphony), Thomas Luis de Victoria and Michael Praetorius as well as two beautiful Medieval carols. All profits go to our New Seminary Project. |

Reign of Christ Reverend Fathers James Doran, Stephen DeLallo, Robert MacPherson & Patrick Summers What is the month of Christ the King? What does the kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ really mean? Is it something vague and theoretical? Or is it something purely spiritual, with only an indirect influence over the life of men in society? No. Just as Jesus Christ is God Incarnate, so the principles of Catholic philosophy and theology must be made incarnate in the social order as well as in the lives of individuals. In this collection of conferences, Frs. Doran, DeLallo, MacPherson, and Summers expound these Catholic social principles, demonstrate their application in various realms of public life, and elucidate and refute the modern errors that oppose them. This October, celebrate the Feast of Christ the King by deepening your knowledge and appreciation of Our Lord’s reign. |

Cloister of the Home: Raising Children Reverend Fathers James Doran, Damien Fox & Robert MacPherson It is rightly called the “art of arts” given both its difficulty and its supreme importance for promoting happiness both in this life and the next. For this reason, Holy Mother Church has always sought to give parents the fundamental principles necessary to perform well the delicate task of forming the children entrusted to them by God. In this spirit, Rev. Fr. James Doran and his collaborators discuss the joys of raising a large family, the proper understanding of the role of education, how to make good decisions regarding Catholic schools, and how to think about the possible vocations that might arise in children. |
